Wireshark-dev: [Wireshark-dev] Capturing on multiple interfaces [FEATURE REQUEST]

Apparently its possible on some platforms to capture on all interfaces (tcpdump on linux does this).
under MacOS X, however only the first interface is used. This means running tcpdump or dumpcap twice and merging the files later together if you want to capture dualhomed traffic (like SCTP).

Suggestion: fix dumpcap to accept  something like  -i en0 -i en1 or   -i en0,en1. In the fist case it does take the last passed interface.
Or maybe fix libpcap to take all interfaces on MacOS X if none is specified?
